FIELD: nuclear power engineering. SUBSTANCE: method involves introduction of steam or gas of fissionable material and gas cooler into magnetic trap (reactor core). As soon as desired density of fissionable material is attained, high-energy protons are brought in and revolved within core thereby initiating nuclear reactions accompanied by emission of fast neutrons; the latter are passed through moderator arranged around reactor core and escape the latter in the form of thermal neutrons conveyed to reactor core. High-energy protons also ionize fissionable material and gas cooler which are set in rotary motion under the action of cross-linked electric and magnetic fields about longitudinal axis of reactor at speed ensuring resonant-dynamic thermal fission of fissionable material. In the process continuously fed gas cooler is passed under the action of centrifugal force through fissionable material nuclei, cools them down, reduces degree of their ionization, and also takes bulk of energy of high-energy fission fragments and is discharged together with them from reactor core through magnetic-trap escape cone. Energy released in reactor core is controlled by varying energy of high-energy proton beam. Upon completing resonant-dynamic fission condition may be changed by changing density of fissionable material to cease supply of high-energy protons while resonant-dynamic fission still goes on. When this is the case, fission energy released in reactor core will be controlled by fissionable material speed and density. In addition high-energy fission fragments formed in the process heat up heavy hydrogen protons to thermonuclear fusion temperature. Original nuclei of fusion reaction may be used as gas cooler. EFFECT: enhanced amount of energy generated, improved density of thermal neutrons in reactor core, and reduced critical density of fissional material nuclei. 3 dwg, 1 tbl
